Israel claims it has infiltrated, crippled Hamas

[drdon326]

Israel's military has infiltrated the leading Islamic insurgency group in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Israeli military sources said the nation's intelligence community has infiltrated the Hamas movement in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The sources said Israel's infiltration of Hamas in the West Bank has been so thorough that the intelligence community usually received advanced warnings as well as details of suicide bombing plots.

"This has been one of the most important developments in our fight against Hamas," a military source said. "Three years ago, the idea of being able to infiltrate Hamas was unimaginable."

A senior Israeli security official agreed that much of Israel's information on Hamas comes from within the organization, Middle East Newsline reported. The official did not dispute the assertion that Israeli intelligence has infiltrated Hamas.

The result has been a steady reduction in Hamas's operational capability in what has prevented the Islamic organization from launching a major attack in the Jewish state, the sources said. They said special operations forces have killed or captured several leading Hamas operatives who had planned suicide attacks in Israel over the last few weeks. They said Hamas, amid a cash shortfall, has been hard-pressed to replace senior operatives.

1. Old news...but...

as in the previous thread that spoke about this, makes you wonder
WHO is really planting the bombs, etc. If they have been "infiltrated"
wouldn't take the Mossad much to pass off a an attack
as a "terrorist attack". :eyes:

Whatever....doctor :eyes:

3. Next time a bomb goes off...

and Sharon can distract from further investigations into his
"administration", I'll think of how Hamas has been "infiltrated".
:eyes:

Yeah...sure it'll be Hamas...or people pretending to be them.
